Blue Marvel
Put simply, Blue Marvel has all of the characteristics necessary to be the strongest character in all of the Marvel universe. After gaining godlike powers from a mutated anti-matter reactor explosion, former Marine Adam Brashear became a superhero powerhouse. He’s as smart as Reed Richards and strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Sentry. He was also forced to retire as a superhero because he was a Black man in the ‘60s who was stronger than every white man in the world, which was a big no-no. A superhero who reflects America’s complicated relationship with race while also exhibiting physical feats that stretch our imagination is a hero that needs to be on TV.
